The solar mirror vital to the terraforming of the conquered planet of Komarr has been shattered by a ship hurtling off course, and it's newly minted Imperial Auditor Miles Vorkosigan's job to find out why.

In the political and physical claustrophobia of the domed cities, are the Komarrans surrounding Miles loyal subjects, potential hostages, innocent victims, or rebels bidding for revenge?

Once, Jackson Rook was a war hero. Raised from boyhood to pilot an exosuit mech, he'd fought gallantly for the rebellion against the Collectivists. But that was a long time ago, on a world very far away.
Now, Jackson Rook is a criminal, a smuggler on board the Multipurpose Supply Vehicle Tar Heel. His latest mission: steal a top-of-the-line mech called the Citadel and deliver it to the far-flung planet Swindle, a world so hostile even the air will kill you. The client: a man known only as the Warlord. Rook has been in the smuggling business long enough to know that it's best to take the money and not ask questions. But Rook cannot stand by and watch as the Warlord runs roughshod over the citizens of Swindle, the way the Collectivists did on his homeworld. For all his mercenary ways, Rook is not a pirate. And deep within the smuggler, the heart of a warrior still beats.

Servants of War
With loose bookplate signed by both authors.
The war between Almacia and the Empire of Kolakolvia is in its
hundredth year. Casualties heap even higher on both sides as the
conflict leaves no corner of the world untouched. Illarion Glaskov's
quiet life on the fringes of the empire is thrown into chaos when
tragedy strikes his village. When he is conscripted into the Tsarist
military, he is sent to serve in The Wall—an elite regiment that
pilots suits of armor made from the husks of dead golems. But the
great war is not the only—or even the worst—danger facing Illarion,
as he is caught in a millennia-old conflict between two goddesses. In
order to triumph, he must survive the ravages of trench warfare,
horrific monsters from another world, and the treacherous internal
politics of the country he serves.
